10/8 ~ Venus (values) ~square~ Saturn (foundation):
This
energy can make you feel cool & detached with loved ones. It is
time to 'take stock' of your relationships and really evaluate the level
of balance between giving & receiving. Business or personal -
relationships must have a balance of give & take. You may feel more
aware of your true independence in life and start reevaluating the need
for certain relationships in your life. This energy pushes you to dig
for your own fortitude & determination to live according to your own
values & priorities and corrections or adjustments may be necessary
and fairly obvious at this time. You may feel lonely, depressed or
disconnected but it's just the Universe forcing you to question or
assess your current relationships, how you interact with others and how
you allow them to interact with you. It's good to periodically evaluate
even the strongest relationship and check the foundation. Don't give in
to (ego-based) fears, focusing on the lack & limitation or what is
not working, but instead, build on your strengths and honor the goodness
you've created together, as well as in your Self. This is the best time
to be alone and reflective because the insights you acquire through
this process will help you in the future.
10/8 ~ Mercury (communication & self-expression) ~conjunct~ Sun (core essential Self):
This
energy will compel you to express yourself on many levels.
Communication will be a focus, just make sure it is reciprocated. You
will have access to some powerful energy that can (and probably will)
make quite an impression on others (if you need to). This is a good time
to travel if possible too. However, if not physically, then mentally
and certainly within your own area, you will take in more information
per square inch than usual. Pay attention! You may even gain the
much-deserved recognition from others that you have worked so hard for.
10/9 ~ Mercury (ideas, thoughts & concepts) ~square~ Pluto (rebirth & transformation):
This
energy is a tough, yet powerful one. Its Highest expression would be to
focus on your inner deep-dig, discovery & development. It enables
you to look beneath the surface to some core drives and gain some
valuable insights and thus, choose a plan of action based on your
findings. You will want to know all the hidden meanings behind decisions
you've made or want to make soon. Dig - you will find more than you
think you're ready for, but apparently, the Universe thinks differently!
Pay attention and try not to worry about what anyone else thinks or
believes. This energy's flip-side is to make you obsess over one
particular idea and try to force others to your way of thinking. That is
a bottomless pit - you cannot truly change the way other people think -
you can only change the way you think and hope it enlightens others
along the way ... and it will, for those who are tuned in to your level.
Try to only focus on you and your direction.
10/9 ~ Sun (illumination) ~square~ Pluto (transformation):
This
is a challenge to grow out of your comfort zone and into new territory.
That said, with Pluto in Capricorn (2008-2024), twice a year for these
16-years, when the Sun is in Aries (Spring) and Libra (Fall), we get an
opportunity to grow & change in fundamental departments of life:
self vs other and home vs work. In this case, and during these years, we
are literally changing how we do ALL of this. Each year builds on the
previous and we are now 8-years into the 16-year process of
transformation - that is the MidPoint, an incredibly potent point in
time & space. It is here that you have the most information to
consciously work with as you prepare for the next 8-years, and
ultimately, what you would like to get out of your conscious efforts and
dedication. Sun helps us clarify and when working with Pluto, it is
usually what is NOT working, what has run its course and is ready to be
composted into new Life, new growth and a new direction (for Self).
Pluto is the Purifier, distilling things back to their true and original
essence, fight that and it can be painful, work with it consciously and
it can be transformative and will heal at the deepest root of any
challenge. You can use this activation to honor that which has become
obvious or is highlighted in the here & now and purge or purify this
energy. You are deeply supported for releasing old patterns and setting
new conscious practices into action. Tie up loose ends, close multiple
chapters, mourn & move on. As you do that, you will feel lighter
& brighter and more grounded in your true Self, your evolved Self.
10/11 ~ Mars (anger) ~square~ Saturn (restriction):
This
is the energy of action being restricted and the anger or frustration
that follows. You can either be angry and feel restricted, limited and
unable to move ... or you can see this energy as an opportunity to
define the right actions to take and strategically plan to take them
when the Universe is more supportive. This energy requires us to slow
down and double check The Plan. If you proceed consciously, your plan
has a better chance of success than if you were reckless &
impatient. You may experience a blockage of some sort, internal or
external. You may feel this tremendous urge to change or move forward in
your life but seem to find blockages and limitations with every effort.
That is likely your perception, do you feel inadequate to the task at
hand? What are you afraid of? Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real -
release fear and choose to be responsible for creating your life. If you
don't, your outer circumstance only becomes a reflection of your inner
belief. You will attract criticism and repel support. Take your grand
vision and figure out three small steps you can take on this restricted
level that is still taking you in the direction of your goal. Don't try
to initiate at this time, this is a time for cultivating, planning,
working behind the scenes, doing the detail work and foundational (grunt
work) that is NECESSARY to support the grand vision when the time comes
to fully express it.
10/12 ~ Mercury (communication) ~sextile~ Saturn (responsibility):
This
energy is really good for being able to objectively see what needs to
be changed, fixed or stabilized in your life or environment. One
expression of this energy is a tendency toward depression or apathy, but
a better expression would be facing what needs to be done and following
through on what you have begun. You may feel the need to organize
things at home or work, or perhaps take a class or workshop of some sort
that will help you attain your current goals. Either way, be focused
but not too serious - balance in all things. It's when you focus on the
lack and limitation that you feel overwhelmed and sometimes helpless.
That's not the point of this energy. It's just time to do some serious
thinking, tend to the details, take stock and make changes accordingly.

The Karmic Tools Weekly Forecast covers the current planetary
transits which affect people in different ways and to various degrees of
intensity. Take notice when it is a Personal planet (Sun / Moon /
Mercury / Venus / Mars) interacting with a Social (Jupiter/Saturn) or
Collective planet (Uranus / Neptune/Pluto). And pay extremely close
attention when it is a Social planet interacting with a Collective
planet because that means something *big* is brewing that will move
large groups of people along their evolutionary paths. Tuning in to the
energy and rhythm of the planets can serve as a useful *guide* as you
move along your Individual Path. It also helps to understand your place
within the context of the larger Social & Collective Story. Below,
you will find out how these energies tend to manifest, as well as
guidance and direction.
*NOTE* There are
some days when there are NO CONTACTS (besides the Moon), please note
that there are no missing entries, we just list the actual Activations
of each week + the day they happen.
